Phoronix: A Slew Of RadeonSI Gallium3D Fixes To Kick Off The Week

After already making a ton of improvements to the RadeonSI Gallium3D stack this month, Marek Olšák is looking to end the month on a high note with yet more fixes to the open-source AMD driver...

Interesting, collection of everything fixes

TF2 has been unplayable on radeon since December 2015. I really hope this is the good one.

Marek has been busy; it seems he also reviewed a patch for another OpenGL extension:

For some time I'm wondering about idea of how implementation graphic injector on driver level will works. I and probably many others hate(s) aliasing effect. Game's AA(msaa, ssaa) always takes a lot of performance, but on the other hand there are low costs methods like for example smaa. I know that the mesa's devs are reading phoronix, so I want to know their point of view. (I can jump to mailing lists)

This, so much this!
TF2 freezes up after a couple of minutes which is very unfortunate since it's one of the few games I still play.

Gallium has a post-processing layer you can turn on through environment variables. I believe SMAA is already implemented there, though i could be mis-remembering.

Is anyone working on missing extensions for 4.4 and 4.5?

Interesting, because Steam's "Team Fortress 2" (which is what I am assuming that you are referring to) runs just fine on Mesa HEAD with my HD6450 / r600 driver. I must therefore conclude that the problem is confined to the radeonsi driver.

As I mentioned previously, Dave Airlie (Redhat) got his GL_ARB_cull_distance (openGL 4.5) patch reviewed by Marek earlier today... So there is some progress. Only a handful left to do.
